I retract my earlier statement.

I have just learned that Area 51 is where Xenu keeps his interstellar spacecraft so that he can travel the galaxy. He frequents Washington, wearing the "human suit" of Karl Rove, exercising his power through the President, pharmaceutical companies, and psychiatrists.

From a famous 1950s SciFi movie: "The Day the EArth Stood Still" with michael Renne. It's a classic.

First of all my neighbor works security up at the Test Site...they recently have moved a lot of material into the site...Secondly I know several Engineers including a Project Manager at Yucca Mountain...the name of the game is called Reprocessing, and the future generation of massive amounts of electrical power....All three areas border each other...and are extrememly remote...

The area known as Groom Lake is known as Dreamland.... each area provides it's own security...Dreamland Security is something else...like spooks in the night.... each work area is segregated from the others and the highest level of security work area deals with matters that could effect society as we know it.

The electric power from Yucca is going to fuel an "Electro Magnetic Pulse" that is going to alter time so that the vast distances of space can be covered...

You are talking about the "Janet" flights out of Las Vegas. They go to 51 and other classified areas on a daily basis. Run by EG&G as a corporate shuttle. The windows are not covered over. Not going to say anymore...

The area you are referring to is Fort Huachuca in the Sierra Vista area down South. Lots of "interesting" things going on down there as its a sterile area for radio communications.

Lots of very interesting airplanes down there, all taking off and landing at night and hustled inside the hangars before anyone can see or take photos of them.

I heard they are testing submarines at area 51. They don't even need water anymore.



This is a real Navy ad as found on the back cover of "Discover" magazine August 2005.

I played the video game. There's aliens and UFO's and top secret bio stuff going on there.

Also that's where the moon landing took place

Proximity to NTS allows security to be tightest without need to explain to pesky public forums.

Anyone that has driven on US95 past the site has seen their cell phone get 4 bars, but no service knows how things work out there.
Spent time driving through Navada onto So Cal through Death valley to do work at the gold mines - went through area 51 and China lake - stayed at a hotel where all the contractors stay. Wierdest thing in the freak'n world! The only hotel I have ever been at where nobody and I mean nobody talks to anybody else. I can normally strike up a conversation with just about anyone and normally do - these guys were like freak'n zoombies!

Thats a rough one! Marana Airpark has been a "company" facility for years.

Funny how that works! Get near any high security facility and this is the norm. Was doing some flight testing East of Dallas and had this happen. Dead zone for commo work and finally figured out that we were over the E-Systems facility and it was blocking out all of our comm transmissions.

Lots of "interesting" things around the country if you just keep your eyes open...
